World Series hero Curt Schilling served on board of Bannon border wall group.
Former major league pitcher Curt Schilling is among the prominent conservatives on the advisory board for “We Build the Wall”, the online fundraising group that was alleged by federal prosecutors Thursday to have defrauded donors of funds gathered to construct Donald Trump’s border wall along the southern border.
One-time Trump campaign manager Steve Bannon was one of four men indicted by a federal grand jury in Manhattan on Thursday for working to “defraud hundreds of thousands of donors” in relation to the non-profit, prosecutors said in a statement.
Schilling, 53, is listed as one of 13 advisory board members for the non-profit, according to the its website.
The full roster is a who’s who of leading figures adored in conservative and anti-immigration circles, including controversial former Milwaukee county sheriff David Clarke Jr, Blackwater founder and defense contractor Erik Prince, former Kansas secretary of state Kris Kobach and former Colorado congressman Tom Tancredo, who once campaigned for the White House on a stridently nativist message.
